    If you have a heat gun use that to warm it up and re-bend it. Then swap the halogen out for an LED equivalent for a low heat answer. heh

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I feel for you that you obviously married a not cool wife, or a wife who was so cool she did so many drugs, that she forgot what cool was. Because that, my good sir, is pretty much the opposite of cool. Doesn't take AI. I have been listening to Scott Bradley's Postmodern Jukebox for years. I...

    Depression

    This is essentially the relationship between my mom and I. She was essentially the big sister black sheep who couldn't manage her life at all, while I was the younger sibling who actually took after the people who raised him, so has to be the "responsible" one.

    Depression

    My mom is 75. And I don't know if this confirms of refutes your opinion.. but... I consider the best thing she ever did for me was letting my grandparents adopt me and raise me as their 5th kid (her being their 4th). Now my half sister and I have to split duties caring for her, but I still...

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    Over in the Jimmy Rustling thread you can see where I just cut the big cord (cancelled AT&T Uverse), and we're doing a "critical review" of the others. Amazon Prime we use for the shipping benefits and other stuff, so we'll still have Prime Video, Paramount+ we get for "free" with other...

    This may or may not be a main driver behind my new fun time side project of building a new media and "home server" multi purpose box that's going to , if I can get it all working right, have around 80TB of media space. Will run n8n, home assistant, Plex, TrueNAS, etc in one big ass box.

    And I'm willing to bet their sub numbers are about to slide hard with their biggest show wrapped up. What is the next "Stranger Things" in the Netflix bag of tricks? Adjacent to that would be the question of how high they think they can raise their sub costs before their original value prop of...

    In my case, this is the "sounding board" part of my process. I'm mostly doing a check on "I'm pretty sure this is the smart and easy play, but what do you guys know I might be missing". I ask that because I'll be the first to admit a lot of the folks posting in this thread obviously know a ton...

    Congrats on hitting that milestone sir! I see that happening for my wife and I in probably 2-3 years. But as discussed elsewhere for me I know it will mean finding something to downshift into to stay busy for a while, just not needing to do the full court press making money like I am right...

    Smartphones

    Wife and I are currently rolling Samsung S20 FEs. I've had to have one cracked glass replaced (random drop which landed flat on the one pebble in a parking lot...) and while they did it I had the replace the battery. Both are still doing everything we could need our phones to do, and I...
